Sheriff Joe Sounds Off On Latest Illegal Aliens Controversy
America's Toughest Sheriff has some things to say about the latest illegal alien
controversy and, as usual, he's not pulling any punches.
"They’re complaining, yeah," Arpaio said; "but why don’t they compare what’s going on here to the country they came from? That’s why they’re coming here – because of the bad conditions in other countries like Honduras and Guatemala."
He is also critical of claims that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers are following through with demands that illegals report for hearings.
"In our jails," he explained, "we found that about 2,000 inmates in the past several months are in jail for several state crimes; but they’re here illegally and we found out that over and over again they’re being released to ICE and they keep coming back."
Arpaio described such experiences as evidence that "either they’re being led out the back door or they're being deported and they're still coming across the border."
